Elgin man gets 3 years for sexual assault of preteens
An Elgin man was sentenced to three years in prison Monday for having sexual encounters with the preteen daughters of his then live-in girlfriend.
Tacuma Evans, 35, of the 1100 block of Spruce Street in Elgin, was charged in October with 25 counts of sexual assault and abuse.
Evans pleaded guilty Monday to criminal sexual abuse. In exchange, prosecutors dropped more serious charges, including four counts of predatory criminal sexual assault, a class X felony that carries a mandatory sentence of six to 30 years in prison.
Prosecutors said the abuse, which involved an 8-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl, happened in December 2006.
Evans was being held on $150,000 bond.
